Abstract
An intelligent electronic device broadcasts its own location information over an IRIG-B or similar network, avoiding the need for maintenance personnel to manually record the location of the installed device, and avoiding errors in tracking its location. The intelligent electronic device either is equipped with a GPS module, or receives location information from another device installed at the same site.
